All-Star Appetizer

Buffalo wings and football go together like peanut butter and jelly. But what if you're looking to do something just a little bit different?

Give this recipe a try! It has all the wonderful flavors of buffalo wings without the sticky fingers.

This recipe was a winner of a game-day snack competition on The Rachael Ray Show in 2009. I was looking for ideas for that year's party, and I knew I had found a winner in this dish. I make it every year, and every year it's a crowd-pleaser with the dish all but licked clean.

Scoop corn chips were recommend to serve with this dish, but they can break easily. I like to spoon some on crackers, and celery sticks work well for that true buffalo wing feel. Whatever your pleasure, I highly recommend this dish for your own game-day gathering. You won't be disappointed.

David Garrard's Buffalo Chicken DipRecipe from an episode of The Rachael Ray ShowMakes 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

1 8-ounce package cream cheese

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup blue cheese dressing

1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Cover the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish or pie plate with cream cheese.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, wing sauce and butter, and pour over the cream cheese-filled dish or pie plate.

Top with just enough blue cheese dressing and mozzarella cheese to cover. (Adding too much cheese will cause a thick skin to form that will make eating the dip difficult once the cheese cools.)
